Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

A Muslim may bequeath up to one-third of his estate remaining after funeral expenses and debts. A bequest beyond one-third takes effect only if the heirs consent after the testator's death. One-fourth and one-half are not the limit, and the whole estate can pass by will only where there is no heir or the heirs consent.
